Proposal

T1 Common Ash: Reduce the crown by approximately 20 to 25%, taking around 3 to 4 metres off the longer branches where appropriate. Prune back to suitable growth points, keeping the crown balanced and maintaining the tree's natural shape. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches as part of the works. Data via plota.co.uk
